A TRIBUTE TO THE SENIORS Usually as t he Seniors leave our portals of learn- ing, they retrospect and acknowledge their thanks to our Principal, our faculty, and our school. І� this issue, opposite this editorial, is one of the usual senior editorials embodying all the esteem and re- spect the Senior Class has for us. Seldom do we think that to cur departing Seniors we also owe a tribute, a tribute glorifying their spirit, energy and endeavors. They have all helped Central to hold its foremost place among high schools of the state. They have aided our athletic teams, our clubs, our plays, our freshmen, and other social functions. We have all felt the surge of this sound-headed and sound-bodied group of students. This pulsing, palpitating, and energetic body will soon be lost to Central. But not forever. Their de- votion and untiring efforts for our general welfare will constantly remain as a fitting monument to their triumphal march; from their day of entrance as boys and girls to their day of departure as men and women. Good luck, and success be with them. O Central, Alma Mater, We bid you all adieu; And {о our dear old teachers Farewell, farewell to you! түне BIN ns. rrt THE OPPORTUNITY SCHOOLS (THE ALL-YEAR PLAN) All-year schools have been in operation in Newark for twelve years. [hey were heralded by the highest educational authorities as a wholesome contribution to education, and for a decade have been looked upon with favor. [heir growth was not sudden; it was gradual, as their worth became apparent. Intervals of several years marked their extension, two schools be- ing established in 1912, one in 1915, two in 1916, nd four in 1920. AMERICANIZATION It is admitted by everybody that the all-year school has been a success from the standpoint of socialization. Since the problem of assimilating children of the for- eign born is one of prime importance, Newark has good reason to be proud that it maintains an institu- tion. which is coping with the problem successfully. Even those not expert in schoolcraft can readily un- derstand that children of congested neighborhoods аге better off under school influences in July and August than under conditions that they would obtain were ihe schools closed. Proof of the unlifting influence of all-year schools that when kept in constant touch with the school. children are easier to manage Bad habits ordinarily contracted by a long summer vacation lies in the fact have less opportunity to develop, while the children naturally inclined to make trouble are moved along be through the grades more rapidly, causing them to more interested in their studies and less inclined to be disorderly. Formerly the low grades contained many over-age pupils, some of whom were difficult io con- trol. Now in the all-year schools, retardation has been overcome, with the result that teachers may dis- cipline less and teach more. If all-yearness has brought about an improvement in conduct (character), then it has accomplished something toward fulfilling the chief aim of ed ucational endeavor. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY Not only do children profit socially by schooling that continues through the summer months, but they 5 gain educationa!ly as well, for it is obvious that chil- dren can learn more in twelve months than in ten. It is or must lie inactive in July and August. folly to suppose that the brain becomes dormant The fact is, one can study and learn just as much in July :5 in January. It is a good plan, therefore, to give chil- dren, especially those that are handicapped і� го many ways and still have the ambition to learn, an opportu- nity to improve themselves intellectually during the summer months. Otherwise, because of language difficulties and other adverse conditions, many chil- dren would be effectually barred from all chance nf receiving a public school education. We have thou- sands of children who could not, before reaching working age, complete the course in a regular ten- month school. [hey need the two extra months each year to offset their natura! handicaps. To deny ruch children all-year advantages would be tantamount to depriving them of a complete American public school education. Nor should we overlook the fact that it is the children who are least favored socially that need education most. Our welfare, as much as theirs, depends upon education. About seventy-five per cent. of those attending all- year schools return to schoo! for ihe summer term, and they do so voluntarily. There is no law to compel them to return. That so many pupils should be will- ing to give up a vacation for the sake of learning is a glowing tribute not only to the attractiveness of our schools, but to the fundamental goodness of our chil- dren. ignore the demands of three-fourths of our all-year More than 13,000 of Newark’s children enrolled in nine schools have such ambition It seems everything but wise, therefore, to school population. to obtain an education that they attend regular school sessions during the vacation period. The mere :tate- ment of this fact is sufficient to guide us in the proper direction. SCHOLARSHIP The assertion that graduates of all-year schools do not do well in high school needs qualification. Be- cause all-year schools are situated in districts where ТЕ ЕРІ WW, E. om . SET IDA children hear a foreign language at home and where the surroundings are not altogether favorable for the best educational results, failures are bound to be rela- tively numerous. Children so handicapped are at a disadvantage regardless of the iype of elementary school they attend. It is a graduates of ten-month schools situated in certain matter of record that the crowded neighborhoods are relatively inferior in ability to do high school work. The ten-month school does not increase their native ability. Т� е all-year school, on the other hand, by additional trainining, tends to offset their disabilities. that the all-year plan enables us to graduate pupils Also, it must be remembered who, under the ten-month plan, would drop out of school before graduation. І� other words, the all- year plan gives the dull pupil a chance to graduate, while the traditional plan gives him no chance. Con- sequently, only the brightest of the regular schools are compared with the rank and file of the all-year schools Also, it is well to remember that many children living in con- and, hence, ought to show a better record. gested districts find it difficult to meet high school because they lack suitable places for They fail, not because they lack intelligence, but because requirements, study and can obtain little assistance at home. of certain conditions under which they must live. It is manifestly unfair to charge such failures to all-year schooling merely because all-year schools happen to be located in these districts. figures bearing upon this subject is not that all-yearness The significance of the makes the product inferior, but that schools in crowded city districts have many handicapped children to deal with. What is to be marveled at is not that some of these children fail in high school, but that they are enabled to reach high school. It may happen that some pupils go to high school poorly prepared, but since poor scholarship is not con- fined to all-year schools, there is no justice in placing blame for such conditions upon the all-year plan. [here is no good reason for promoting pupils too rapidly in any school. Wherever this mistake is be- ing made, the proper remedy should be applied, and that remedy is simply not to promote pupils until they are fit for promotion. The remedy is the same for both all-year and ten-month schools. Abolishment of all-yearness would aggravale, not remedy, the situa- tion, for the handicapped children would have little opportunity to overcome their handicaps. What has been said of high school records applies also to records obtained by our school surveys. Some all-year schools made a good showing, others, a poor one, but the same is true of regular sc hools. In gen- eral, records made by the two-language' schools were inferior, regardless of the type of organization, this inferiority being due principally to the children's not knowing the English language well. THE ГІМЕ ELEMENT It has been said that the short term of the all- year schoo! is a disadvantage because the school must be reorganized so many times during the year, but the truth is that several reorganizations are not necessary and are not actually made, for it is just as rasy to arrange that a teacher keep a class a year under the all-year plan as under the regular plan. This is a matter of administration. Even the reorganization of July Ist, when about one-fourth of the pupils leave for the summer, may be effected without loss to the pupils, if the plan is administered with care. From the standpoint of the children the short term is really an advantage, for when a pupil fails he must repeat only three months’ work, while in a ten-month school a before receiving another opportunity for promotion—five if child must wait either five or seven months he fails in February, seven if he fails in June. Cer- tainly it is better for a pupil to lose only three months than it is for him to lose six. Го children who cannot afford to remain in school many years this is an im- portant item. Under the all-year plan a pupil may fail once during the year and still accomplish a full year's work as measured by the course of the ten- month school. Repetitions of grades in the all-year school are not so costly to children and do not pre- vent ultimate success: in the ten month schools repeti- tions are serious and lead to almost certain failure to graduate. It has been said, however, that pupils do not save (Please note that in one breath it is said that they gain so much time by attending school all year. much time that they reach high school too young, and that in another it is said that they really gain little time). By the all-year plan children are given an opportunity to do in nine months what others do in Then for the next three months they may ad- (Continued on page 93) len. TO PARENT | А | | | April 29, 1924. Dear Parents:— Duty! How many ideas it brings to mind! Duty, a word all- enveloping in its magnitude! All of our acts involve duty. Duty to self, to parents, friends, country— in fact every right act is the result Xf duty consciously or unconsciously performed. We readily understand why our children must ever have the thought of duty before them. Duty is the guardian and director of our conscience. It is neces- sary to imbue our children with the conception of duties well accom- plished. Duty well performed loses its routine when it comes from the heart and becomes zlorified into service. Too many of us fail to do our duty to ourselves. Is your child do- ing his full duty to himself or to society? One way in which children fail to do their duty is to neglect school tasks and duties. Children should regard it as a duty to be in their places each day, eager to do their day's work, with the feeling of appreciation of the opportunities, offered them. If children are imbued with the feeling that school is.a: p rivilege involving the duty of tasks well done, the school will be cleared of retarded pupils who are clogging the system and preventing the ambitious from: progress- ing. Unpreventable causes may result in failure, but most of the failures ire due to neglect of duty. If each child does its duty to the very best of its ability, life will be happier and our schools will be able to accommodate ail who are seeking admission. Urge your children to see to it that they do their duty at all times thoroughly and willingly.

The sun, a molten ball of fire creeps slowly up above the waving green meadows, darting forth multicolored streaks of flame. At length with a startling suddenness, Old Sol blazes forth upon a peaceful world, gleaming wondrously in all his dazzling splendor. А new day has come! The sleepy little hamlet begins to awaken. A cock's shrill clarion—the yelp of a dog and a thin line of smoke begins to curl towards the heavens. “hen another and another. Soon Andre Valtier, big of bone and heart is seen walking to his blacksmith chop, singing to himself. Не is at peace with the world. A few minutes later, the clang of the anvil -ings out midst the neighing of many horses. As if by signal immediately all the little shops and booths began to open and the children to appear, walking in merry groups of threes and fours, going to school with their books in their arms. The tinkling of a cowbell, the faint bah-h of a sheep—all chimed in to make this an atmosphere of quiet and serenity. Then from the Mme. Valtiers house, darted a slim, lissome girl of some eighteen summers. Her hair was a deep chestnut brown, that matched Old Sol 8 in radiance, her smooth oval face with just a tinge of red in each cheek was as smooth as а baby’s.

When but a few yards distant she raised her voice and said, in a tone of mock severity, He does not Oh!” anger, “So, this is how my beloved one acts. even deign to see his little Roxie. she cried tremulously, “I am mad with and she stamped her tiny foot on the ground. On hearing her voice, Raoul immediately turned around and seeing who it was, walked back hastily and took her in his arms in a bear-like embrace. “Oh,” she cried, looking up into his dark, hand- some face. “І love уош.” And I you,” returned the happy Raoul as he pressed his lips to hers. Then he released her and flushed but glad, they both continued to walk along the road, her ridiculously small hand in his own, each wrapt in silence. So they continued until they came to the crossroads, where they parted, Raoul to go to work, and Roxie to continue her wanderings о ег the country-side. Like a flitting bird she sped away over trickling brooks and fallen leaves, racing with the Like this she roamed the whole day, stopping in one place to eat some berries and drink from a brook. At length when the day began to wane, Roxie, tired but happy, with her for her darling Lights had already begun to appear in some houses—crickets chirped and the frogs croaked and splashed in the distant swamp, the moon peeked forth from behind a fast disappearing cloud—a myriad of stars shone brightly against the dark blue of the tranquil heavens while down by the old mill the wild roses cast a delicate scent over the entire neighborhood—an owl hooted mournfully і� a nearby tree—nightfall. Roxie came into the house, received a mild scold- twittering birds and bees. arms full of sweet wild flowers mother, tramped slowly into the village. ing from her mother as was usual, which she kissed away as usual, put the flowers in a vase and went to her room. Not much later she reappeared in a quaint little gown, her hair surrounded by a ribbon while tiny feet peeped forth from beneath her exceedingly Came supper—the prayer and then the cattle of dishes. Pere and Mere Valtier beamed proudly upon their loving daughter and felt devoutly thankful to the Almighty for having blessed them with such a dainty piece of femininity. After supper, the dishes washed and. put away, Roxie sat down to wait for Raoul. Mother sat busily knitting, while great, big father puffed contentedly on his briar and read the news of the day. Suddenly came a knock on the door. Roxie sprang up, went to the door and admitted the expected one. He came in, entirely at ease, bowed to her parents and began to talk of what was going on. Yes, the Revolutionists were stirring up trouble. War was inevitable. The people must have liberty and. be freed from the oppression and tyranny vf the Nobility. If the opportunity came, he himself would go. It was his pledge. His pledge to his dead parents. Roxie shuddered, and with a forced laugh said, “Соте, stop this talk of war and disaster. Come Raoul, we will out and play with the moonbeams. See, they beckon. And with this they went out together leaving the Valtiers to speak in a troubled fa-hion of this cloud that hovered on the horizon. wide dress. It unnerves me. My God, muttered Valtier. “If this war should come, I dread to think what would happen to us. Mon dieu, the Four Horsemen would ride on faster than ever. Mme. Valtier sighed but made no comment. Meanwhile Roxie and Raoul had th rown aside trouble and were now only concerned in one another. They walked arm in arm towards the Inn, whispering softly. On the way, they paused at the head of the lake and gazed out on the clear expanse of water Save for the droning insects and the soft lapping of the waters on Raoul and Roxie, however, At length they arrived The cheery lights and laughter beckoned to All was merry. squeaky fiddlers in the corner played while the people that was now as smooth as a mirror. the shore, all was quiet. soon continued on to the Inn. there. them, so in they went. The two danced until, in a great burst of applause the dance Raoul and Roxie quietly went to a comer It was ended. table and began to sip wine and eat cake. a cheerful atmosphere. No one dreamed of the hor- rors that were soon to come. Suddenly, the door burst open and a crowd of noblemen (probably bound for some castle) entered and demanded wine in boisterous tones, disdainfully gazing at the same time, at the hushed people. Roxie and Raoul paid no attention to them but continued to whisper to one another. So the hours flew. It was time to go, so they both arose and started for the door. The noblemen, in the meantime had been drinking heavily and as Raoul and Roxie passed them, they all glanced at the belle of the town and ad- mired her refined beauty and lithe figure in audible tones. One nobleman, L’Estrange, by name, stag- gered noisily after them and clumsily stretched put his hand to detain Roxie. Stay, my doll, he spoke, stay awhile longer. Raoul, who had been :tand- ing near, took a step forward until he stood between Roxie and L'Estrange. Then with a sudden move- ment he brought his hand with a sudden slap to the cheek of L'Estrange. The room grew painfully sil- ent. L'Estrange sobered a bit. Не was white and the imprint of Raoul’s hand was still on his cheek. Raoul, a step away, was trembling with passion, while Roxie, holding his arm was very much afraid. I want you to kiss me.” Monsieur, spoke L'Estrange, in a voice entirely sober and deathly cold, this must be avenged. You must fight me tonight, now in fact, as in an hour, we leave. Raoul bowed. Then Roxie burst forth, ‘Raoul, if you love me, do not fight, you will be killed. Her voice rose, I beg of you, my dear betrothed, do not fight. Raoul, tight lipped, spoke: Gentlemen, I zo to bring my beloved home. But I return before the Adieu. Then turning to Roxie, he said, “Соте, dear one, the hour is late. It is high time you were safe in your mother's arms. Allons.” He strode out into the starry night, followed by the tearful Roxie. hour is ten. Flower of flowers, he said to Roxie, “� о! even for you can I jeopardize my honor. I will teach this unruly pig of a nobleman to stay where he belongs and to keep his soiled hands away from my lily. Finally they arrived home. In а few terse words, Raoul explained everything. Valtier nodded under- standingly and with a crushing grip of hands wished him luck while Mme. Valtier kissed him. Roxie had gone to bed where she cried herself into a troubled sleep. Raoul immediately went to his sword. rooms for his outside the village, Raoul was one of the best of France's swordmen. Still he knew that he was to face a worthy opponent, for in L'Estrange, he was pitted against Nobility': deadliest sword. Unknown to anyone Soon he arrived at the Inn; every thing had been prepared and cleared away. He burst through the door and, taking off his coat (L'Estrange had his off already) Raoul unsheathed his sword and began to make passes in the air. After a moment or two he was satisfied. His wrist had not lost its flexibility by any means. Raoul approached L'Estrange and smilingly said, I am ready, Jean Jacques yonder, and he pointed to a friend of his, will second me.” L'Estrange bowed coldly. They both went to the center of the room, raised their weapons and the fight was on. Raoul was cautious and played the defensive as he wanted to test L’Estrange’s abilities. He was impressed by the skillful way і� which L'Estrange handled his weapon and knew that his adversary would press him hard. However, L’- Estrange angered that this peasant should give him such a hard battle, doubled the fury of his attack. But, this frenzy was short lived and soon L’Estrange found himself breathing hard. Now Raoul took the the offensive. The clash of stee! resounded through the entire Inn. both Lightning-like thrusts were evident on Feint thrust But it seemed that L'Estrange was getting heavy on his feet. sides. parry and so it was. His eyes were glaring and his tongue was dry: Не seemed to be battling against a resistless Time and again as he would glance at Raoul's eyes, he would become disheartened, for there lurked but “о� е kill. Finally Raoul thought that L’Estrange had gone far enough. force. purpose—to And now the spectators were treated to a bit of sword play that made their eyes glisten. Like a flame was Raoul’s glittering here and there and parrying: sword -feinting—thrusting At last with a tremendous thrust he drove his sword through L’Estrange and watched him fall as the death rattle sounded in his throat. [he Nobility, too amazed to do anything, could only gaze awe stricken at their fallen comrade. That he, L'Estrange, the deadliest sword of all France, should have been killed by a mere commoner and killed by superior swordsmanship was quite impos- sible. Raoul quick to grasp his opportunity, ran from the Inn. For he knew that {о Бе caught now by the Nobility would mean death. Already had M. -Guillotine made his appearance with his deadly instrument of destruction. So with the speed of a deer, he ran to Valtier’s home, where he found Valtier waiting ouside for him anxiously with a saddled horse and other necessities. “Сод speed, my boy, he whispered to Raoul, little dreaming that he would never see him again. Now, like a flitting shadow, Roxie appeared, with eyes red from weeping. Raoul took her in his arms. Desire of my heart, he spoke pantingly, “І must gd. But not for long. Не covered her lips nnd cheeks with kisses and then, thrusting her from him, mounted his horse and, with a wave of his hand rode away into the night.

(Continued on page 88) DIMPLES By Eva Cohen It was a most wonderful play. The Producer said so, the Author most assuredly thought so. Even the Leading Man condescended to admit that in all his sixteen years of experience he had never seen a more enjoyable comedy. Indeed, the play bid fair to be one of the best amateur attempts ever produced by any graduating class of the Dayton High School. But there was something lacking; something that every good play must have. It was a heroine. Yes, out of a class of thirty girls not one could be found to fill that stellar position. Not that they didn’t want to. Every single one of them filed an application. Everyone, that is, except Mary Ralson, and she didn’t count. You see, she was small and plain and she never smiled. And then she was so horribly clever, too clever ever to be popular. And so she never thought of filing an application. Now the part of the heroine, called for some- body who was pretty, clever, and able to control her emotions very strictly. This character was named Dimples and she would be a scream if she could be played by the right kind of person. She was funny because she never laughed. When she faced her audience, it must be with an expression so ludicrous that every one must naturally burst into laughter. То be successful she must provoke mirth all the time and her greatest asset must be that comically sad face. Where, in that class of flappers, could be found one who would not burst out laughing or start giggling at her own funniness? Where could be found a girl who could be а Dimples without showing any dimples? Т� е Author was in despair; the Leading Man went around casting imprecations on the whole tex which could not produce one decent actres. Т� е Producer alone said nothing. One day, however, he sent a notice around to the 4A Class. As a result of that notice, there assembled, after school that day, thirty girls on the stage of the audi- torium. Some were self-conscious; some were gig- gling in the knowledge of their own personal attrac- tions, some touched up lips and cheeks; only one stood up straight and stiff, gazing stolidly at the clock. There was a stir on the stage when the Producer entered, a stalwart, handsome young man of about twenty winters. Не went up to the front of the assembly room and issued his orders in а sharp, commanding tone. Each young lady will please take а copy of the leading part from that table in the comer. As I call your names, will you please step up and read until I tell you to stop? With an excited flurry the little group did as it was told, and then each awaited her turn. The girls came on one by one, and read from two to four minutes. The recitations were greeted with Pretty good, or Fair, and most of the time with “АП right.” When Mary Ralson came on, he said noth- ing. She was the last one on the list and after she had read awhile, the gathering was dismissed. All except Mary. When she went home that night, her heart was singing and two unsuspected dimples had appeared in her smooth cheeks, innocent of any sug- gestion of rouge. But her excitement was nothing to the shock of the school, the next day, when it heard from the lips of the horrified leading man that Mary Ralston “о all people had been made the heroine. Т� е Flap- pers laughed derisively and the ‘‘Fellers” snickered openly; but they could do nothing about it, not even the handsome leading man, who begged and pleaded, and threatened, in vain. Never had a budding star taken her place under such difficulties. The school knew nothing, in the weeks that fol- lowed, of the work that that young girl did. They knew nothing of the great professional who coached and molded her, because underneath a stolid exterior Mary Ralston had hidden the heart of an artist, and beneath those indifferent features, she had concealed the expressions which could be found only on the face of the greatest of actresses. The part fitted her like a glove. She was the Dimples who did not dimple, at least not until the grand climax. Under the praises of the Producer and the profes- sional, her self-consciousness vanished and every bit of prettiness that she possessed came out, until even her classmates began to notice the difference. But they did not know the full change until the night of the play.

CENTRAL'S CREED By Edward Stark I believe in Central High School as a school by the students, of the students, and for the students, whose just teachers are rightly chosen; a democracy in a school; a perfect formation, one and inseparable; established upon those of conscientious study, leadership, equality, and honesty, for which principles former Central students have striven through many years of hard effort. I therefore believe it is my duty to my school, to love it; to maintain its spirit; to respect its colors; to abide by its just regulations; and to defend it against competitors in all pursuits. 13 PRECAUTIONS FOR MEN DURING LEAP YEAR Ву Мау Smoleroff If a girl invites you to her home more than twice a week for dinner, bear in mind for what purpose a goose is stuffed before Christmas. Ifa girl tells you that men whom she doesn’t love want to marry her, and that the man she loves isn’t aware of it, then looks at you, don’t wait until the noose is around your neck; offer to help rope him in. If a girl tells you no one has ever understood her as you have, make up your mind it’s time to begin misunderstanding her. If a girl tells you she has learned to prepare five kinds of meat at school, be sure to tell her you're a vegetarian. If a girl tells you she’s devoted to her mother, five sisters, and three maiden aunts, that they all live together, and that the man she marries could come right into the heart of the family, tell her you think it would be a crime to intrude upon so happy a home. If a girl tells you no one will ever exist for her after she’s married but her husband, find the poor fellow who falls for her and warn him to take put a heavy life insurance. So much collar-and-leash de- votion would kill any man. If a girl tells you she has money in her own right, and you've intimated that you have a sincere but penniless affection for her, consider first whether your digestion is good before you make up your mind to eat that money three times a day. If a very plain girl tells you all the women in her family married at twenty and that her twentieth birth- day is tomorrow, you might gently remind her that it’s the exception that proves the rule. If a girl tells you she’s lost thirty pounds because you once casually remarked you could only Jove a thin girl, just look unconscious for an instant and the bone of contention will consider herself yours “‘till death do ye part. If a girl tells you she can't help being honest, she must confess that she loves you and wants you for her husband, if you don't care to accept her don't hesitate to say so. Remember a woman who is so frank herself cannot fail to appreciate honesty in an- other. [HE SCHOOLMA'RM OF SOMERSVILLE Ву Leah Lesser Mary Ann Pennington was the schoolma'rm of Somersville. Immediately, my dear readers, you will imagine a tall, angular woman with hair drawn tightly back in a stiff bun, large tortoise shell glasses, and But Mary Ann Pennington was a young person with protruding teeth. you are entirely mistaken. blonde, bobbed, curly hair which she wore in the fashion of the day, big blue eyes which were wont to open wide at any sign of surprise, and a small, red, kissable mouth. The day that my story opens was a_particularly hot one in the month of June. Mary Ann had had a very trying day in the schoolroom for, in spite of the warm weather, Johnny Roberts had persisted in being mischievous and it was all she could do to keep him out of it. She was trudging homeward on a hot, dusty road, thinking of various plans for the following day, when she heard the honk, honk, of a car and she barely had time to jump out of the road when a red sport roadster whizzed by and a young man called out: “Sorry, but I’m in a hurry. Mary Ann’s thoughts were not very pleasant after that and she vowed that if she ever saw him again she would tell him just what she thought of him and you may be sure that whenever Mary Ann Pennington made up her mind to do anything she usually did it. As she passed the neighboring farm, Miss Theo- dosia Smith, otherwise known as the Smith Daily (for she never missed anything that occurred in Som- ersville) cried out: Mary Ann, there's а young New York fella at your house talking to your Ma. ` Yer better hurry afore yer miss him.” But Mary Ann did not hurry in spite of the warn- ing that she would miss seeing а New York man if she did not do so, because she was not just at that moment interested in any man but he. of the red roadster. Yes, she certainly would tell him a few things! She entered the back door leading into the kitchen where her mother had started preparations for din- ner. As she donned a large apron she heard her mother say: 14 Well, young man, I might be able to accommo- date you if you don’t mind plain lodging and plain food. I can give you my daughter’s room as the spare room has been closed all winter and might not be fit to sleep in, and she can stay with me tonight. You had better put your automobile in the barn there in the back of the house.” “Thank you, madam,” a pleasant voice replied. Mary Ann finished her work and started to set the table for dinner. As she was doing this her mother came in and said: Mary Ann, you had better set another place. We have a New York man staying with us for the night. He did not wish to travel during the night because of the bad roads and he asked me to give him lodg- ing. She did not reply but went to the china closet to get the extra dishes and as she turned she heard that pleasant. voice cry out— “Well, if it isn't the little girl whom I nearly ran Who would have thought that I would meet her адат?” over today. As she looked up she saw a man about thirty years of age with dark hair, slightly gray at the temples, a strong chin, and eyes—well, she couldn't exactly tell just what color eyes he had. One moment they were black and another moment gray, but she liked the twinkle in them, (although she never would have admitted it, had you asked her.) Mary Ann had been brought up to be polite so of course she had to say, How do you do? to the stranger in spite of the desire to tell him to go to the devil, but she decided never to speak to him again as long as he was there. Thank Heavens! It was only for one night. At the dinner table Richard Henley, as the New York man was known, kept up a brisk conversation with Mrs. Pennington, and although he attempted to draw Mary Ann into the conversation he could not do so, for she only answered in monosyllables when spoken to and, after being snubbed a few times, he finally left her to her own thoughts of vengeance. “Mrs. Pennington, I wonder whether you could accommodate my mother and me for the summer. My has been all her life and I’m Besides, 1 like the scenery very much,” said Richard, looking а! Mary Ann. Well, if your mother wouldn't mind country life mother is an invalid sure the mountain air will do her good. I guess Mary Ann and I can help you out. Mary Am but she knew how much they needed the money that was anything but pleased at the news, he would pay and therefore acquiesced to the plan. Richard Henley left the next morning for New York City promising to return as soon as he could get his mother conveniently moved. As the last day of the school year drew to a close, Mary Ann started to collect hei belongings from the schoolroom when the chairman of the Board of Edu- cation, Mr. Banlan, entered and asked Mary Ann whether she would be willing to teach here again the following year. Ta everything goes all right, I shall be glad to take aid Mary Ann. Days passed and again Richard Henley was with over the school again,” Although Mary did not like Rich- ard, she was already in love with his mother. the Penningtons. She was a frail little thing, with hair as white 45 like Richard’s and beautiful skin with the roses still in them! snow, eyes So unlike her mother who had worked hard all her life and was by this time an old woman in appearance if not in years. And it was plain to see that she adored her son and that her whole world was centered і� him. Every afternoon after Mary Ann’s work was done she would sit and chat with Mrs. Henley and it was through her that she came to know Dick and to respect him. It was a few weeks after Dick's arrival when he sat talking to his mother in the summer twilight. Mother, I wonder why Mary Ann keeps avoid- ing me. Ат І so distasteful to her or doesn’t she like my looks. She avoids me as though I меге: leper or a poisonous reptile, said Dick with a frown spreading over his face.

(For how was he to know that Mary Ann was in- terested in him but was too shy to let him know he: true feelings). Mrs. Henley's first idea in life was to keep her son happy and with this thought in mind she waited for a chance to make these two friends. The chance came sooner than she expected. It was a very warm day in July and Mary Ann was ‘sitting in her room, her chin cupped in he hands, dreaming. Mrs. Henley was lying down in the ham- mock on the summer porch while Mrs. Pennington and Dick had gone to the town for some supplies. As Mary Ann sat there she suddenly heard Mrs. Henley scream, “Mary Ann, Mary Ann, hurry down, oh, please, hurry down. As quick as a flash of lightning Mary Ann was There lay Mrs. Henley stricken with fright while near her stood a mad dog frothing at the downstairs. mouth and seemingly enjoying Mrs. Henley’s What could she do? except a flower pot and grabbing this she threw it at terror. There was nothing on hand the dog. Instead of stunning him as she had intended she missed him. Т� е dog’s attention was quickly averted from Mrs. Henley to her. With one bound he jumped at Mary Ann and bit her on the arm. That was the last she remembered.

A few weeks later Mr. Banlan, the Chairman of the Board of Education received the following letter: Dear Mr. Banlan: I regret very much that I will not be able to take over the school in September, as I am going to be New York my married and am going to make permanent home. Y ours truly, Mary Ann Pennington. MARY AND HER LAMB By Lillie August They had not seen each other for ages, or at least not since the time when Jack had left Hilton to come to the big Dayton High School. They had parted with tears and vows, and Jack had promised to be true forever and Mary had promised to live only for the day when they would meet again. And now she was coming, little blue eyed, golden- haired Mary, and Jack's eyes grew merry and his heart became joyous. Indeed, so jolly did he get with the thought of the coming of his little pal, that he attracted the attention of Rita Crandel, the ac- knowledged class vamp, who invited him to her birthday party. It was the week before the expected arrival and Jack at first spoke only of her. But it was not Jong before he began to speak at length on Rita’s charms and they soon became the best of friends. Alas for Mary, Rita was armed with accessories enough to charm many Jacks, and red lips, long eyelashes, and chic costumes did their work well. When Mary came, she went immediately to the High School where she expected to study (and play) for four years. When the two friends met, there was no rejoicing, no exclamations, no laughter; only an uncomfortable silence. Jack broke it first. How well you are looking, Mary, he exclaimed in a would-be enthusiastic voice. You look well, ioo, was the answer, and then after a few more commonplaces, the once intimate chums separated, to be alone with their own bitter thoughts. On her way home Mary was on the verge of lears. He is so different, she wailed to her cousin with whom she was staying. “He's dignified and proud and he's dressed like а dandy. А� а when I came in, he was talking to a girl who looked like one of those models I used to admire in the Fashion Book. Jack's train of thought ran something like this: “I wonder where she gets those clothes. Gosh, don't tell me she still patronizes old Bender from Main Street! And her hair—why doesn’t she bob it? How changed she is! Not at all that old pal I used to like so much. Rita’s sweater was a corker.

It was being run by the school, and the hall hired for the occasion was the largest in the town. Rita duly received an invitation and just as duly told Mary about it. cousin came in. Mary was crying when her They talked it over and finally During the days that fol- lowed she met Ja ck in the corridors znd he called once or twice but if he felt any remorse for not ask- ing her to the dance, he didn't show it. The night before the dance, Mary did a daring thing. She went up to Bill Wesely, a friend of Jack's and asked him to take her to the dance. ‘The young man was surprised, and it must be confessed, a little chagrined, but when she told him her plans, he chuckled with glee. His sense of humor forced him to enter into what he thought would be a good joke on Jack. Mary stopped crying. The next evening, a taxi drew up at Rita’s door and she was whirled away to the dance. Close be- side her sat the good looking Jack, his brown eyes sparkling at the thought of the good times ahead. In- deed, so good did he feel that he placed a kiss or two upon the unresisting lips of the vision beside him. The hall was already well filled and the pair walked through it followed by shouted greetings and laughing compliments. Indeed, Rita looked like a dream with her green frock, sparkling with shimmer- ing beads. Then the band broke into a riot of jazz and the dancing be gan. Suddenly there was a stir at the door. A young girl with a good looking cavalier entered and they both made for the dressing rooms. When they returned, they immediately joined the dancers. А� а, when, at the end of that dance, Jack turned to escort Rita to a seat, he stopped as if turned to stone. Looking up into the face of an admiring young man stood Mary. Her golden hair was piled in adorable ringlets on her small, well shaped head. Her sweet face looked beautiful with its red lips and big dark eyes framed in entrancing black lashes. Her slender form was accentuated by a gown of shimmer- ing black and silver; and from the top ol her blonde head, to the � р of her dainty slipper , she looked the perfect flapper of today. She acted the part, too. All evening she flirted outrageously. She was the undisputed belle ol the occasion. She ven had а smile for Jack, who tasted the dregs of bitterness when he saw this fair vision who had once been his, courted and feted by a legion of adorers owards the end of that hateful evening the heart- broken youth almost fainted with joy He saw Mary alone on the veranda. After all, Auld Lang Syne is the nearest and dearest to our hearts and the chums soon made up [he tactful Rita went home with Bill to the joy of that young man. Mary was escorted by her wandering boy who wandered no more and indeed they are still called “Mary and her Lamb.”’ WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW?

Mistake me not, dear reader, nor even imagine that I am by nature destitute of that interior projection, meaty decoration and, р� увіо- logically speaking, muscular organ. I am, I think, rather sparingly than generously provided with this adornment, and І feel no disposition to envy the horse his lavish amount, nor the chicken her limited supply of that necessary feature. Neither have I done any- thing to incur any criticism on the part of the local cartoonist, because of this. I was never, thank my stars, in the comic movies, nor is there the slightest possibility of my ever being in them. When, therefore, I say I have no tongue, I mean no tongue for talking to the opposite sex. To say that this jabbering instrument never wagged fiu- ently under the stimulus of a sympathetic feminine ear would be a falsehood. But when “Не” arrives, this muscular contrivance suddenly becomes rigid, and all the wonderful speeches prepared beforehand are dammed up and forever zone. I think that I am naturally a linguist, but senti- mentally I am incapable of speech. For days before, I rehearse pretty speeches to myself before the mir- ror, to my dog, and also to the sympathetic manikins but all in vain. Yet, hath the noble Antoinette never been dismayed. I think practically, I can converse fluently, but romantically, І am incapable of utterance. І have à suspicion that I have an undeveloped fluency of talk with the opposite sex.

Now for the first question. It is agreed that any- one can do better work when he likes or is interested in what he is doing, for it is no effort to concentrat e on the duties to be performed; nothing distracts him. and the work that would ordinarily seem hum-drum ог difficult, appears fascinating and even easy і� many cases. For that reason, one should, in choosing the kind of work he will do, try to find that in which he can take a natural and lively interest. Again, I hear you say: “That is all right for the boys or girls whose parents have told them from childhood that they are to be engineers, dentists, phy- sicians, teachers, etc.; but what about those of us whose parents have not planted those preferences in our minds—those who must get out and ‘find a job’ We do not know what we want to do, except that we know as soon as commencement exercises are over? we want inside or outside work. To you I say, there is ample opportunity and time to determine what you want to do and in what line your bent lies—if any, and you can do this while earning a living. 19 It is true that unless a boy or girl Is equipped for some particular thing such as stenography, bookkeep- ing, filing, telephone operating, etc. it is necessary to start at very small remuneration, and yet there is 1 certam advantage in this; for the one who starts at the bottom misses nothing in the general training, and when he or she becomes a department head, divi- sion head, or executive officer, the ability to handle people comes from having gone through the mill, knowing what the duties of an office boy or messenger are, how long it takes to accomplish various routine tasks, work. For the boy who knows he wants to follow а cer- and all the little kinds that come in a day’s tain line it becomes a question of finding an opening that will lead toward the goal he has chosen; but the fact is that relatively few of the really big busi- ness men knew at the outset that they wanted to be- come bank presidents, railroad presidents, or general managers of this or that. In most cases they started for little or nothing in the way of salary, kept their eyes and ears open, learned all a job had to offer and then moved to the next one. That, however, was in the days when most estab- lishments were small; but today the average boy can if he becomes associated with a good firm—find his opportunities there: and by remaining long enough, get well along toward the top of the ladder right in that industry, no matter what his particular bent may be, for the really big organizations employ profes- sional men of almost all kinds including physicians, lawyers, research and industrial chemists, operating engineers, as well as all the specialists in the commer- cial field, such as accountants, office managers, ad- vertising managers, purchasing agents, credit men, etc. Nor are the opportunities confined to the boys; for big business houses require secretaries for their vice presidents and other officers, stenographers to de- partment heads, supervising file clerks, chief clerks in many sections where large numbers of junior and senior clerks are located, supervisors of stenographic (Continued on page 91) ГНЕ IDEAL CENTRAL STUDENTS is for Clean, the way we play. for Energetic, I surely can say. stands for Neighborly, to all we ar for Thoughtfulness in all is Reserved, in actions not loud. for Alert, never dimmed by a cloud is our Loyalty, of Central we'r proud. is the Honor, that is ours in hand for Industrious, our future we've plannea 15 Generosity, in all we donate for Habits, to correct never late is to Study, so subjects we pass. for Courage, all others to surpass to act Human to one and io ail. to Obey, answer those who call.

It was approaching high noon and Fred needed an ammeter, volmete: or something of the like which would indicate and measure the electricity generated. Nothing was to be had when of a sudden he remembered the bell on the kitchen wall, a rather large affair, once used to summon members of the household at mealtimes. Pro- curing this, he placed it on the table and joined the nichrome wire leading from the first thermopile to one side of the bell. copper wire of the third thermopile. To the other he joined the Then he con- nected the three thermopiles in series. Over each mir- ror was placed a thick card-board cover to shut off the sun’s rays. The mirrors, burning glasses and thermopiles were so arranged that when the covers were removed from the mirrors, these would reflect a good many of the sun’s rays on the burning glasses, which in turn would concentrate the hot rays received in a small spot—say о� the joints of the wires in the thermopiles. electricity, the quantity produced depending on the These, being heated, would generate temperature and the size of the apparatus.

Just yesterday he took a student of this school, put him to sleep with a pencil placed before his sub- ject’s eyes and then instructed him to do numerous things which were instantly obeyed. I was awed by the performance which I considered pretty good. But he has, sad to state an insatiable desire to write poetry, which is a good and beautiful desire, but, I ask you, does poetry combine with football; does iambic pentameter go with 17-92-3-shift: do figures of speech chime with punts or tackles; do heavenly and beautiful thoughts coincide with the —er—not exactly lady-like utterances heard on a football field? Decidely no! He has many opportunities for a future occupation бот which a choice must be made. Football is too dangerous, scholarship is not lucrative enough, so I think he will be forced to commercialize his power of hypnotism and some day we may see him per- form.

You sit up late and study, cramming words not thoughts ; you do not get enough sleep and when you get up in the morning all that you studied is a jumble, nothing is clear. Pay attention during the term and you won't have to cram at the end of the term. Bessie Lieberman. Cramming usually does not produce successful re- sults. It may serve its purpose for the following day or so, but can be considered no real means to a fav- orable end. This is due to the psychological factor explained by retroactive inhibition—that is in the usual allow his procedure of cramming, one does not thoughts to “зе” properly. Thus it can be readily seen that proper learning is incompatible with the aforementioned art, if it may be called such, of usu- ally belated and futile attempts to pass courses. —Louis Chivian. A pupil should not cram before examination be- cause this cramming is a waste of time and also a hindrance for confusing the thoughts. The pupil who studies faithfully all term needs only to review I speak in favor of the faithful student, so I will say that the earnest student should the work carefully. not cram for examinations because it makes the work hazy. — Lillie August. I do not think it advisable to cram for examinations. One's mind should be absolutely clear and free from the congestion of thoughts when they are taking an examination. Study well during the term and when the time for examination comes, you should take a complete rest. and be prepared for the examination, by having a clear brain. (Cramming is one of the worst enemies when taking an examination. Avoid cramming! Hermina Freeman. [his is the question that we hear, About a quarter ol the year, Does it pay to cram and cram, So you can pass an old exam? То me it is the strangest thing, When other kids just laugh and sing; I sit and study all day long, I'll tell the world it’s far from wrong. Poor Jimmy, he'll be out of luck When in the middle he gets stuck, For on his cuff no more he'll write Than he can keep from teacher's sight. But now it is my tum to grin For all the days that I stayed in As on my cara an eight I'll see, What of poor Jim? Oh! flunked was he. But do not cram is all I say, Just sit and study day by day, And you won't have to cram and cram So you can pass your old exam. ж -Florence Moore. 109 А. М. Louis Heuser John Kantor 110 P. M.

The officers and members are working together to speak Spanish fluently and they are also planning Spanish plays for the future. Do not seem surprised if you hear Spanish spoken in the corridors of Central as this is but one of the Spanish Club’s accomplishments.

All these lead the members to try their hands at parodies, humorous stories and poems. The 26th of April was set aside for all the mem- bers to visit the National Museum of Arts and The New York Public Library.

FUND ORGAN Every Theatre Party brings us nearer to our goal —an organ dedicated to Central High School boys who fought and died in the war. On April 28 the school gave another Proctor Theatre Party, with the assistance of the Service Clubs. Several collec- tions have also been made in the A. M. and P. M. assemblies, and helped swell the Organ Fund. At present, Central High School, without the aid of outsiders raised more than $5,000! We could have easily procured our much desired organ by merely hinting to outsiders that we would accept their help. However, Central High School has EARNED the $5,000. which it has so far, and expects to earn the next $5,000 too. There is a great deal of satisfaction in regarding a thing which has finally been achieved by hard work.

But we do the Weather Man injustice, because what he predicts usually is true, even if we like to poke fun at him because he says it will rain the day we don't want it to. Who is this mysterious Weather-Prophet? Do you know that the station for recording the state of of the atmosphere for the whole northern part of New Jersey is situated atop your own school? Do you know that the Weather Man, or his assistant Ski, climbs up there every morning, makes a volume of calculations and reports the weather for the day to the government and to all the newspapers in this sec- tion? Besides the Weather Man has many more laborious tasks than reading baro-and thermo-meters. For the Weather Man is our own beloved hard- working principal, Mr. William Wiener.

Dear Central High, I entered here With resolutions and things to fear; For was not high school hard and cruel For graduates from grammar school? Nine months from then a sophomore, I beamed With aspirations and myths that gleamed. This life now seemed to me so dear, With so many victories to cheer. At last to me all dreams came true, For was I not a Junior too? And as a Junior staunch and good, By Central's side I've always stood. It makes no difference what others say, For in ev'ry turn that slogan stays; Which I uphold and many hallow, Central Leads, and others follow. And now a Senior indeed I am, Helping and leading the little freshman. [he years of toil are ending now, And to dear Central I solemnly vow, In future years I'll still recall The gleeful voices in Central's Hall. А MESSAGE ТО CENTRALITES By Viola Fuerth Viola Fuerth, although a student in our two-year course, was one of the best typists Central ever turned out. She left us in March, 1915, and is now tm- ployed in an office in Orange. She appreciates the training she received while a pupil here and was interested enough to send us re- cently the following message, which we believe will be very helpful to all our Do you want lo know the truth about something ? [hen read a little further for me. А very fine speaker who is visiting in Newark at the present time said that she had found that some people didn't even like fairy stories when they had the truth in them. However, I won't scare you with the one I know, for it isn't anything that is new. I was told about it when I was a student nine years ago, and found it was irue. What do you have to do to be successful? In your studies, in business, or in anything? to work. You have Just as well as you have to earn your friendship to be a friend, so you have to work to be advanced. I shouldn't think would sound very encouraging to tell anyone they have to work to pet along, but let me explain it. I never wanted a position where I had to work hard—do you? We see people holding positions that we, when we started out, thought we would love to have; but what about it? Only this—you cannot get that wonderful position through influence, pull, drag or disposition—the only way to the top is through MERIT. What you honestly do, know and honestly work for are the only things that will build. The reason the job you picked out to have appar- shorthand pupils. ently looks so easy is because they worked to leam their business well. Неге is my own example: It takes my employer just fifteen minutes at ihe very most to keep me rushed all day, and sometimes longe: than usual, at my desk. Is it how long or how much you work, or is it what you know? Why we are told we have to work in the begin- ning is because we are best able to and also because first year at High School you have more to do than � t we have to get our foundation then; in your the end of your course, although it is not rasier. Now a word, my earnest reader, about Efficiency. The first thing I think of when I : day is to be prompt; start out for the then, to take pride about the appearance of my working corner; third, it is my duty to be pleasant and willing; and fourth, to be ready I want to say in con- clusion that at the end of my day I look forward to a long walk home—read, for business—as І am in it. and have plenty of rest. I have found that my training at Central was not only necessary to start me in my business rareer, but it has influenced and guided me in all that I have undertaken. Central not only has meant much to me in the past—but still means a great deal.

SECRETARIAL CLUB OFFICIAL ROSTER David Sarbone Frances Grau Moore President Vice President Secretary Florence Custodian Robert Campiglia PROGRAM COMMITTEE Marjorie Walsh, Chairman Edward Highton Gertrude Trugman It is the object of the Secretarial Club to create a business attitude among the students before they enter business. This end is accomplished by having influential speakers from ouside talk to us and rive demonstrations which could not otherwise be given. This club is a benefit to the students, and it is said that all stenography students who are eligible а� а do not belong to it are—as we say— missing something good.” Applications can be obtained from the President, David Sarbone, in Room 216 A. M. at any time, and all students who are interested аге urged 10 apply for membership. SPECIAL REMINGTON AWARDS In the January Remington tests Arthur Clay was awarded a leather card case for his record of 45.2 words a minute, and May Smoleroff received a gold medal for her record of 55.7. Since that time May has increased her speed a great deal and she is now writing 60 words a minute on fifteen-minute tests and 70 words a minute on short accuracy tests. MR. PFROMMER AGAIN VISITS CENTRAL On January 31, Mr. Howard G. Pfrommer and Joe Gold, a clever writer of the Isaac Pitman sys- tem, visited Central as guests of The Secretarial Club. Mr. Pfrommer gave quite a lengthy and inspiring lan tsa SS talk in which he emphasized so many fine points about our system of shorthand that we are publishing it in full for the benefit of those pupils who could not be present. At the conclusion of his talk he gave several dicta- tions which Joe Gold took at about 200 words a minute and read back practically without error. Joe’s performance was very inspiring to our pupils, THe EAS rR because he is not a professional. He is a boy about sixteen years old and graduated from high school only last June. What he was able to do with shorthand, therefore, meant more to our boys and girls than the work of a professional. Joe made many friends among the members of the club, who wish that he would come again. PITMAN SHORTHAND AS IT IS FITTED TO OUR LANGUAGE Students of shorthand, as well as of other sub- jects, often follow directions and instructions too close- ly—that is, without assuring themselves that they un- At times, it is necessary to go ahead in blind faith and apply rules and principles of shorthand without questioning. But for shorthand writers who are advanced sufficiently to interest them- derstand the why and wherefore of things. This is quite true of the beginner. selves in a stenographic club there should be lively in- terest and thought about all the rules and principles underlying the construction of the shorthand system. A famous orator used the phrase “‘light of reasoning,” explaining that a subject could be approached in the same way as one enters a dark room. ‘The principle in shorthand that is not understood is like the dark room; but as soon as we apply thought to the sub- ject the light of reasoning brings out all the thought, just as the light of a lamp brings out the dark cor- ners in the room. Obviously, shorthand notes must be as brief as pos- sible; they must be sufficiently easy to write that they can be put on paper at a speed equivalent to the reg- ular rate of speech. But more than being brief to the hand in executing, they must be complete to the eye in reading, they must give up the whole word ind nothing Jess than the whole word. The definite are spelled in a peculiar fashion. English language is constructed in а very way. We know of course that our words Take for example the words ending in -ough and the different sounds; there are, though, through, cough, bough, enough. But so far as the sounds of the language are ron- cerned, they do occur in quite a definife order. Syllables Whether a vowel is first, will give a few illustrations of this point. aie built around vowels. 38 in the middle, or last—it is always the core, so to speak, of the syllable. А few stock combinations of consonants and syllables are the combination of sm- or sn- at the beginning of a syllable. When “М” is pre- ceded by any other consonant at the beginning of a , syllable, that consonant is S. Just for fun, try to combine some other consonant with ‘‘M’’— it can't be done. Another interesting set of sounds is found when a vowel ы UNS USMUV- TEN CM “J”, at the beginning of syllables. These letters are follows never followed by anything but vowels at the begin- nings of syllables. І have mentioned the illustrations to point out that there is a definite sequence, or order, of sounds and if you wish to investigate further — you can spend a profitable hour or two reading the introduction of a Webster Dictionary. So, in preparing a shorthand system one must be thoroughly conversant with the sounds of the English language. Isaac Pitman was primarily an advocate for a definite sign for every sound expressed in the regular longhand alphabet. All of the spelling re- form of which we hear a great deal today and which was fostered by Roosevelt, had its greatest impetus from the work of Isaac Pitman. Mr. Pitman learned one of the real old systems of shorthand with the thought in mind of utilizing it in his general literature work and in promoting his phonetic spelling. He soon discovered the inadequacies in the system and his exhaustive studies in the sounds of the language, as well as his extraordinary ability for work and in- vention, led him to prepare his own shorthand system. His first step was to arrange and classify the sounds he had to represent. Next he selected the available material for expressing his sounds and for the pur- � ЕУ, CUTE. pose used the geometric curves and strokes, not by change, but because they combine in the most num- ber of convenient forms. Further than this, he adapted the kind of stroke to the kind of sound—arranging them in pairs, light strokes for light sounds, and heavy strokes for heavy as Р.-В. Т. D.; etc. ranged these naturally paired letters in the natural sounds And further he ar- order in which they are expressed. Observe care- fully that P, and B are the result of the action of the lips; that Т and D are the result of the action of the teeeth; that ch and ] are the result of the action of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, and that K and С are the action of the throat. Т� е same is true of the curves, F and V the lips; Th and TH of the teeth; sh and ZH of the tongue and roof ; etc. The same general principle is followed і� the vowels. А, E, and I being assigned to strokes in the same order in which they are expressed by ihe voice. The property of easy-combination of the geometric characters brings to use a great mass of abbreviating devices which combine with the alphabet and enable very rapid writing—I need only mention the hooks for R, L, F, V and shun; the circles for S, and com- binations of S. The real value of these secondary means of repre- senting sounds is quite as much in the field of vowel indication as in the field of speed. It is the accuracy of reading which is greatly enhanced. Vowel in- dication means the plain indication of a vowel with- out writing it. It is just as though we were looking at a landscape and saw great hills separated by a deep valley. We know by deduction that in that valley will be either a river or a lake. Or seeing a great cloud of smoke in the distance, we know that there is a fire even though we can't see the fire. Or if we see a ship go over the horizon, and can just see the mast disappearing, we know that there is a hull to that ship. That is indication—or perhaps it would be better to say deduction. We must be care- ful, to be sure. If we are looking at a man's back and he has coal black hair, we don't want io bet too much on his having black eyes, sometimes they are blue!—or, black and blue! Let me give you some examples of vowel indica- tion. ТГ; First—we have position writing which tells us the that is, limits the accented vowel to either first, second or third place. This is very valuable and should be followed in the short words with great care. Don’t forget that the long words are not the real difficult words to read because being long they are more apt to suggest themselves from the actual impression made when written. But the short words can so easily be read one for another that they must be accurately written and accurately placed. accented vowel; [hen the circle S provides a means of vowel in- dication ; Sin ce a vowel requires a stroke, in the word ask we must write a-s-k, but in the word sack we write S circle a k. When we see the stroke 5, initially, we look for the vowel—and knowing it is At the ends of words, too, the circle is of use; for example, days there, we are able to leave it out. ind daisy. R: Fair and fairy; ray and oar. L: Elk, like; full, fully; rail, relay. WH: While, awhile; ward, award; N: Pen, penny; T: Pit, pity; V. Puff, puffy; Tr: Center, sentry; THR: Feather, feathery; Fr: Offer, fray; Thr: Author, throw. Speed practice. Knowledge of theory. Orthodox outlines. Arrangement of note-book. Value of stenography in business. From what I have said about the sounds of the English language and the construction of the alphabet of Pitman Shorthand, and the provision made for indicating exactly the vowels in words written in Pitman Shorthand, you will see the arrangement of the Shorthand alphabet has not been a matter of mere choice, but a question of a careful analysis and in- vestigation. As I said before, if the talk I have given seems a little “оуег your head it is only because I think that students who are interested enough to participate in a Stenographic Club, will be interested enough to do a little thinking for themselves about shorthand matters. MISS FITZSIMMONS ADDRESSES SECRETARIAL CLUB Thursday, March 20, Miss Helena S. Fitzsimmons, who has charge of employment in Bamberger’s, came to Central and addressed the Secretarial Club. Her talk was very informal but very inspiring. In part she said: “One of our great slogans is: “What can we do to make one of America’s stores greater?’ We are constantly thinking that matter over. “I was very much delighted when I came up the steps. I was impressed with the size of the building; І felt that you must be doing a tremendous piece of I was surprised that you had so many well equipped class rooms. When I went into the typewriting and shorthand rooms I noticed on the blackboards accuracy tests and the names of the pu- pils who had made good records; probably some of these good pupils will come to us some day. “I wonder if you would like to know of some work here. people in our organization who have done well there. There is the Superinte ndent store—Mr. Edward Schindle. Не started in the store as a little office boy; in fact, he was so small that he had to stand on a chair to dust the office where he worked. He almost had to lie about his age to convince people he was old enough to work. He advanced to pur- chasing agent and had charge of everything that is bought in the store. From there he went to the Su- perintendency. “Then there is Miss Gless. She is Buyer in our Cloak and Suit Department. Once upon a time she was a stock girl. It seems a long jump from stock girl to Buyer, doesn’t it? She did not do that in one year or two years; she was satisfied to go slowly. “Then there is a woman in our store who holds а� unusual position. She is Traffic Manager; she is the only woman Traffic Manager in the United States. I suppose you wonder what Trafic Manager means in a department store. All the merchandise which comes into our house arrives in a large Cen- It is a receiving room where she checks of our tral room. the goods and marks them before placing them in the different departments. It is a big job getting all that merchandise, getting railroads and express com- panies to deliver on time and Miss Eyers is the one who manages that. Perhaps you wonder how she began and worked into a position like that. She started as a stenographer and typist in the receiving She was getting $10 She was correspondence room office where she now is. a week when she started. clerk and she decided to leave one Saturday bcause She was the kind of person who kept her eyes and ears open; of her salary but was persuaded to stay. she learned all the operations in that receiving room office and now she is Traffic Manager there. “I wonder what qualities these people had that made them go ahead as they did. In the first place, they must have had the opportunity to do it, don’t you think? They had the opportunity and then they had stick-to-it-iveness. Do you think that is needed Oh, yes, you have to be able io stick to the thing you are doing. very much to succeed?

If you knew Mr. Schindle, you would know that he has that | asked him if he would give me a few thoughts for you and sure enough yesterday he sent three typed sheets with his thoughts. These people are people who can get along with others, who are thoughtful of others. How can you prepare yourselves in school to fit in any kind of work? by the simple virtue of being on time; by practising quality. You can prepare yourselves getting о� well with each other; by remembering to be courteous, which counts a great deal in business; and when you have a thing to do to get it done with the greatest despatch possible. Ву specializing in your work you are going to have a much better op- portunity to fit in than others by being the very best that you can, by doing the very best kind of work you can, and then by checking up upon yourself, not waiting for teachers to tell you, not waiting for marks to come in. Ате you satisfied with what you are doing? Are you appreciating all your opportunities? You can at least take а few minutes each day nnd learn what you have done.

I was a dying parasite among my people and I knew the inevitable hour was stealthily drawing near. Age had made me fearless but the thought of death sent an “аП but wished for chill through my bony frame. І� deep contempla- tion of the dreaded future I took to reading works on Death in vain hope of driving away fear by knowledge. In course of my reading I came upon Virgil's Aenead and read the above passage. I had just dubiously completed the translation when suddenly there appeared before me ту foster-mother, Alma Mater. Her image manifested itself in a radiant glory, something metaphysical; it inspired me. Without the aid of her lips she spoke thus to me: “Базу is the path that leads to Hell; grim Pluto’s gate stands open day and night; but to retrace one’s step and escape to the upper regions, this is a work, Woods cover all the intervening space, and Cocytus gliding But if your soul be possessed with so strong a passion to this is a task.

Saying this she extended her arm and entrusted to me the golden twig. Lo, the ground beneath my feet began to rumble and a cave opened before me. I eagerly grasped the Approaching the river Styx I saw a grim ferryman sitting on the barge. On his chin a load of neglected hair lay, his eyes were flames, his vestments hung from his shoulders by a knot. guide, explained to me that this boatman was my branch and plunged in. My mother, who had accompanied me as a former classmate, Jack Forman, who had in real life won so many Olympic championships and was 50 noted for his strength that he was destined now to row the- boat back and forth across the Styx. Ву prestige of my aural stick I was given passage across the dark channel. After a mere nothingness, for time plays ao part in Hades, І set my feet on the terrestial- like composition which the lower regions are made of. I was afraid io move for lo and behold! the vegeta- tion was all red instead of green (I presume because of the mortal blood which is slowly sapped out of the inhabitants of Hades). I began slowly to learn that everything in this abdominable place was directly op- Pro- upon an posite io what things were in the upper world. seeding slowly I advanced and soon came Utopia which had been established in Hades by once humans exclusively by the class of May, 1924, of Central High School, Newark, New Jersey. It was arranged in treets with little barrels for Mr. Schleicher, as he was formerly called, had decreed criss-cross habitations. This was because Diogenes ог it thus. The spirits lived in alphabetical order of their names that is, Z first, instead of A and so on backwards. First came Zweibel, or Harry, as I knew him. Не, as he told me, after living a successful life as an Expert Accountant of the United States Treas- ury Department, was hung because he embezzled some funds. With him I proceeded to the other little hovels upon which was prescribed the worldly accom- plishments of each individual. Next in regular order came Edith Zucker, who had astounded the world by living happily with her husband, Isadore Levy. He had his shack next to hers by special privilege of his accomplishments. On the iop of Ethel Tomback’s cove was inscribed “Аа astra per aspera” for she had been a famous aviatrix. We continued to zo on and soon met Rose Yanowitz who I learned, after having lived to become Universal Organizer of her sorority, descended into Hell. Lillian Tht Urbach and Ida Wiener occupied the next barrel. They had instigated an ultra suffrage movement and had died victorious. [he next habitation had in- scribed on it Fred Wells, Director of Ten Consecu- shack was another ex- tive Olympiads. The next ception. Julius Lurie and Mabel Weiss, man and wife, who were the combined authors of a five foot shelf of scientific works entitled “Т� е Mastery of Marjorie Walsh, Louise Voos and Gertrude Trugman, three college chums, Physics lived in the next. had decided to disregard “ШІ death do us ра� ” and after living a crowded life in Central High School studying economic conditions in Hindustan continued to do so down here. George Turton, who I remem- ber was advertising manager for the J. Kantor Fur- nishing Company, an establishment which furnished Buckingham Palace, White House, Posner's Progress Club and other great palaces and clubs, was the next А� � а an untimely death because one I confronted. Traub, who had suffered of her incapability to pass from her worldly troubles Gladys Tisch and Hilda History, was recuperating in the following barrel. Zuckerman had mixed art and athletics together and produced a physical culture magazine which they still published in their cove. In the next hut, I met Florence Sussman and Abraham Susskind who had married and compromised on their names by being called Mr. and Mrs. Kind- man, since Florence demanded the maintenance of her maiden name. Edith Straussberg, who had astounded the upper world with her successful imitation of Sarah Bernhardt was in the next. Beatrice Schlosser lived next door. She had committed suicide because Arthur (Strassburg). Ав it was necessary to take а sea- Arthur had in conjunction with Dorothy Friend and Sedell Shienbloom, discovered Rougium, a metal un- like the unobtainable Radium and which is gotten from the strands of hair such as that which Arthur had. May Smoleroff, another suicide, also lived in that region. She, after breaking innumerable hearts, was destined to the same end because Louis Chivian, who had fallen in love and married Helen Coeyman, re- fused her. Anna May Shanks had changed her bar- rel into a studio and painted pictures with Helen Seco as a model. At this point, Harry stopped and assumed a paler looked and He told me that she had been his divorced wife in life, but he hadn't been the only victim. aspect than he already had. І saw Martha Schutzman standing there. There were five in the lot: Gustave Louis, Morris Bennett, Benjamin Braelow and Henry Landenbergen These mournful ones, though free from crime, had procured death to them- selves with their own hand and threw away their lives because Martha had divorced them. Hermina Freeman, who in life had been one of the world's greatest suffragettes, had now opened i real estate office and rented out yarrels to the Utop- lans. Further on I saw Sol Rosen, who in the upper world had succeeded as Editor-in-Chief of America's greatest paper and who had remained a bachelor all his life, now in Hades was called King Solomon and, true to his name, had a crowd of women sur- rounding him. Of a sudden coming towards me I saw a tall man. straight even in spirit whom I recognized as William List. him across the meads, he joyfully stretched out both As soon as he beheld me advancing towards his hands and these words dropped from his mouth: O fortunate one, who have not yet tasted of the sorrow of this lower world, where hast thou been ail these years?

I recognized Marion Burchardt. She very joyfully for she was having a hard time of her saw a tall, Walking over greeted me behind this screen job. “I was once house-maid to the famous oratress Edythe Altman, and on account of this experience I am now destined to take care of Leah Lesser there,” and she pointed to the barrel besides her. I peeped і� and heard a voice mumbling: I must get ihis!” and then the voice changed its note, “О� , Mr. Be- vins, you don't mean Elise? She is the president of the Senior Class. At once I understood and nodding to Marion I left her. In another little barrel, shrivelled and bent, sat Jerome Hequembourg, whose team had finally beaten the Passaic Wonder Team after the latter had made Next to him sat Fred Hexa- mer, once president of the Posner Progress Club, an one thousand victories. exclusive organization of which such famous men as Charles Hoops and Joe Gesuldi were members. He was engaged in a conversation with Charles John- son and Arthur Clay, the Cicero and Caesar of the Twentieth Century. In the distance I saw Solomon Katz trying to lift He was a heavyweight lifter who had lost all his strength because he was broken-hearted over his failure to win Anna Geller’s hand from Morris Fischer. a rock. Having completed the walk, we suddenly emerged into a wide, open space where crowds of people could be seen scattered over the area. To my right I saw Bessie Lieberman, that once most beautiful blue-eyed beauty of the earth. She was relating her sad tale to Lily August and Augusta Brady. She told them how she had waited for the right man to come but he had never made his appearance and so she had died of loneliness. Lily and Augusta retaliated with their own stories of how they had both made a suc- cess in the movie world, but not with Cupid. In the center of the square before me a great de- bate was going on between Michael Horowitz and Kate Kuchinsky on the question, Resolved, That Men Should Rule the Homes. Among the audience 74 | discerned Abraham Finkelstein who, upon being questioned, told me that Mike and Kate had married and were always quarreling. At this point Harry Zweibel left me to see Mollie Lehman, his last wife on earth who had made a great success as dean of Vassar. To the left of me Alice Cavanagh, one of the greatest teachers of her time, was conducting a clas: In her class were Ruth Loehn- berg, Marion Kiell, Rose Resnick, Pauline Epstein and Elsie Fredericks. of drama and play. These women had all been teachers of some sort and their love for knowledge continued “о flourish even here. At the far side of the square was a huge, raised platform upon which were seated Edith Isenberg, Edna Berlin and Eva Gross, who had been acclaimed the most beautiful women of the land. They had made a world-wide reputation by defiling the maxim, “Every Jill Has Her Jack,” and had remained single and untainted. This was indeed a great surprise, but when I discovered Rose Kahn and Lillian Goldis, ihe two who had adopted the oath of Vesta, I had all I could do о resist from falling. Before them and for their amusement were dancing Archie Lasser, one time famous buck-dancer, and Florence Moore, called the Pavlowa of her age. Frances Lee, the great pianist, was supplying the music.

Among the first groups, Agnes Mazzei and Thelma Jones stood out above the others and in the second Frieda Bippart, Helen Cohen and Yetta Finkel. All these had their temples crowned with snow-white fillets. Here was a band of pious nuns, who Meanwhile in a retired vale, I saw unnumbered tribes of ghosts flittering around; as in a meadow on Ме -3 а serene summer’ s day, when the bees sit on the vari- ous blossoms and swarm around the white lilies, hum- ming with their buzzing noise. I waited until they were permitted to stop and then I recognized Anna Malkin, Amy Amsterdam and Ruth Horland. These three had never enjoyed dancing on earth and now here in Hades they must continue dancing forever, only stopping to rest once in a while. All this was happening in an i nstant when sud- denly behind me I heard a wail. It startled me and irrationally I looked back. It was Harry Cox’: Saxacarflute, an instrument which had won him much fame as a radio broacaster. Suddenly I felt the back tide; I was being pulled back slowly. Slow enough to just about discern the faces of Doris Ghee, Sara Cooke and Gladys Holmes. I knew I was being returned to earth and, in a squeaky faint np- peal I tried to attract their attention in vain attempt to have them help me; but, teo late, the ferryman intervened and, placing a steady hand on my shoulder, pulled me back, hurling me into Oblivion.

BASKETBALL Playing on а strange court ош basketeers humbled the Plainfield tossers by a score of 44— 34. Our Captain displayed good basketball playing and was given full support by the rest of the team. Mitch, our husky centre, showed his ability to toss baskets by leading the others in making points. This defeat for Plainfield was unexpected as they had not lost a single game until they played Central. ——o Our Basketball Team went to Jersey City on January 30th to play Dickinson. The game went nip and tuck for some time for Central displayed а superior knowledge of basketball until the last few minutes of the game. Then Dickinson showed her- self a better opponent than was expected and with a marvelous rally came out the winner. ‘The score at the final blowing of the whistle was 32—28. таза ары The next і� line was Glen Ridge. These boys had already defeated Asbury Park and were look- ing forward to another victory. It was too bad for them that they had to suffer a big disappointment be- cause with Sward’s fifteen points, Wienskiwicz’s four- teen, Zimetbaum’s nine and Lang’s six, the score tumed out to be 44-12. luck for Ridge. Tough Glen о February 8th our boys played Montclair о� the suburban court and defeated them for the second time this season. It proved an exciting game as both teams played fine basketball. With s uch strong teams as Montclair and our other opponents, the schedule for the season was far from easy. Asbury Park always turns out an excellent basketball team. This year's team was � о exception. They came to Newark and played fine basketball, leading at the end of the first half by two points. Rallying in the final half, our team changed the score in such a way that when the whistle blew for the end of the game, the scoreboard read Central 20— Visitors 17. With the team's support, Sward and Wienskiwicz led in points; Gallagher for the visitors. Our BIGGEST game of the year had to be held in the Armory in order to hold the five thousand spectators. The leading lady at Loew's made a terrible mistake in predicting that Benedicts would defeat Central. But our team did not like the idea, so they made her hide her face in shame. The pub- licity she received was probably what she was look- ing for, but it put a crimp in the idea that people can tell what is going to happen in the future. Doubt- lessly many people thought that the prediction would turn out correct, but after witnessing that memorable game, many of us wondered just where that idea came Mite Central Players Topple Benedicts For from.

OUR TRACK TEAM Coach Schneider has proved his ability not only in producing excellent football teams, but also his results in coaching the Track Team again remind us of his efficiency in that line. Our relay team has won the National High School Championship for this year and we са� well be proud of it. ''Mickey Harris is the State Hurdling Champion and Bill Mulli- gan has given many champions a hard battle for first place in the 880 yard run. We have been well rep- resented at all of the track meets and in several in- stances have been a close contender for first place. TRACK MEETS Erasmus High’s runners defeated a score of the best schoolboy teams in New Jersey on February 22nd, at the Dickinson High School’s Annual Athle- tic Meet. Benedict's harriers followed the leader and Central was fourth in line, on the point score. “Mickey” Harris was unfortunately tripped when he started off on his tour of the Armory in the One- Mile Relay and this resulted in the “Now National Champs coming in fourth, “Bill” Mulligan ran very well in the 880 yard race and finished third in line. We have a future champion in Carson, who is a great deal younger than the rest of the competitors who ran against him in the mile run.

Benedicts—37; Central—1l6. ‘That was the point score when the meet was finished. Still “Mickey” Harris broke his own record for the hurdles; Watts was second in the 440-yd. run, and Jockers, Cohen and Kirshman helped to add to the points by placing in their respective events. ——o The last meet of the season is the biggest meet of all! Run under the auspices of Central High 83 School, the seventh Annual Inter-Scholastic Athletic Meet was held in the 113th Armory on March 15th.

Raoul was now drinking in the pure air as his horse sped along the dusty highway. Ah! this was living. Soon lights began to twinkle in the distance and Raoul knew that in a few minutes Roxie—his Roxie, would be tight in his arms. With a thunder of hoofs, he reined in his horse in front of her house, sprang from its back and burst in. He stopped short, for there he saw Roxie praying tearfully to the Healer of Wounds. However, she turned around and as her gaze fell on Raoul, her eyes brightened out in pursuit. This was to the home Away they rode, hard and fast 88 and in a moment she nestled close in his arms, Passionately he kissed her hands and lips and neck. Г� е� they wandered out to the garden.

Once she fired into the closet, twice and three times. Are you satisfied? she asked bitterly. He nodded and went out. Then as Roxie opened the door, the dead body of Raoul Lenisse rolled out, good-looking even in death. Raoul, my beloved, she mourned, “І have saved you from a deserter’s fate.

(Continued from Page 19) and dictaphone departments, and others, varying with the kind of business. In fact, many women hold re- sponsible positions in accounting, advertising, purchas- ing and sales departments. Having chosen the kind of work to be pursued, or having decided' to start at the bottom and allow time and circumstances to offer opportunities, it now becomes a question of choosing the business where you will seek employment. Ordinarily it is wise to stay as near home as pos- sible, assuming that there are both large and small business firms і� your locality. Т� е reasons should be obvious; for while the salaries paid are almost invariably smaller than in New York, it should be remembered that the only thing that counts, aside from experience gained, is what is left to go into the sav- ings bank at the end of the month, or the semi- monthly pay period. Commutation, lunches, and all the other things involved in working at a distance from home must be considered; to say nothing of the wear and tear on clothes, health, and disposition that comes from spending two or more hours daily in travel to and from business. The next question that arises is whether it is better to start with a small firm or a large one; and there are arguments for and against both. ‘The small firm usually pays more, during the first two or three years, but the large firm offers the great variety of opportu- nities that exist only in large organizations, and as stated, one should have his eye, so to speak, on the goal to be attained ten years hence, rather than on the immediate present. The large firm usually offers better working condi- tions (light, heat, fresh air, floor space, employees benefit clubs, social activities, and general supervision) regular hours, and a standard salary schedule with personal classification, insuring equitable treatment for all, worked out on a scientific basis. Having decided to seek employment within easy distance of your home, the next thing to do is catalog the names of the places where you think you would like to work, and make a systematic canvass of them all not necessarily accepting the first. position. offered you, but seeking to find something with the one that seems to you to offer the greatest possibilities. Re- member that you are selling your services, and while they may not be very valuable in dollars and cents to the employer, when compared with those rendered by his older employees, nevertheless, those services rep- resent your entire capital and in agreeing to sell them you want a quid pro quo. Find out what the working conditions are—you can get a very good idea from the employees already on the staff; find out what the policy is with respect to promotions; do they go outside the organization when there is an important position to be filled, or If the latter is the rule, then that is a place where you can afford to spend is it filled by promotion? a few years without worrying about the future, pro- vided you do your work faithfully and improve every opportunity to learn not only your own work but that of the position next above you, for invariably in such a firm the future will take care of itself, and while the first few years may not bring meteoric advances for you, they will be a firm foundation on which to build your career. In applying for work, do not cringe, shamble into the office, and mumble some incoherent inquiry such “You don’t need any help today, do you?” Rather, walk in with your head up and your manner that of one who is not ashamed, and state that you are seeking employment. as: If the interviewer gives you an opportunity to talk freely, do so, but do not be- come garrulous or familiar. Answer questions fully. Do not try to impress him with your business knowl- edge, but rather with your earnestness, sincerity, and desire to give value received in return for an opportu- nity to show what you can do. It should not be necessary to speak of personal appearance; yet there are boys and girls who do not seem to realize that soiled linen, extremes in clothing, dirty hands and finger nails, and slovenly writing, make very bad impressions and often prevent the applicant from having an opportunity to prove his merit. If you are careless or extreme about your person, you are likely to be the same way about your employer's business or his property, and he cannot afford to take chances with either. Some interviewers say they can tell all they want to know about an applicant by the way he makes out the written application. That may or may not be true, but certainly the results indicate whether he is thorough, observant, careful, accurate, neat; whether he has a good memory and what his general intelli- gence is. 92 In closing I would urge you to present as good nn appearance as possible, and when you have secured a position to be prompt and regular in attendance, will- ing and courteous in manner, industrious and attentive at work, and to bend every energy to learning all you can about your own work and then as much as circustances permit about the work of the person or persons next above you or round about you, so that when vacancies arise, as they always do, your atti- tude and work will have so impressed those in author- ity that they will have no hestitation in saying: There is the boy or girl we want to promote,” WHERE DO YOU EAT?

They do gain a year, though records do not show this in full because of the fact that the ten- month schools lose many of their over-age pupils while the all-year schools retain them to a greater extent. COST The cost of keeping all-year schools open in July and August amounts to about thirteen dollars ($13) a pupil, but the return is so great that nobody :� оша object to this expenditure. [t is not possible to meas- ure і� dollars and cents the value of Americanizing thousands of children; we cannot begin to estimate the value of providing educational opportunities for those who are ambitious enough to spend their vaca- tion time in study. What it is worth to enable handi- capped pupils to advance rapidly and to reach the higher grades of school, nobody knows; but if educa- tion is as valuable as we think it is, then all-year ad- vantages are worth far more than is being paid for them. Business men know that it is poor nconomy to permit an expensive plant to lie idle for any length of time, and that it is poor economy not to make use of available man power. Likewise it shows poor busi- ness judgment to close our’ schools two months a year or to fail to make use of the teacher energy that is available for those two months. Especially would it show a lack of educational sense if we failed to recog- nize the desire of 13,000 children for all-yéar chooling. It is proposed to substitute summer schools and playgrounds for the July and August term of all- year schools. Hence, little money would be saved after all, and the loss in educational opportunity would be incalculably great. When we realize that than 15 per cent of summer school pupils gain promo- tion while at the same time 75 per cent. of the all-year pupils are promoted, then it is easy to gauge the com- parative value of the two types of schooling. Judged from its production, the summer school is worth only a fifth as much as the all-year summer term. Even children recognize the greater value of the all-year type as is shown by the fact that 75 per cent. of the pupils in all-year schools remain in school July and August, while only 30 per cent. of the children in schools that have summer school return for the sum- mer months. Wherever the all-year plan has superseded the summer schoo! the attendance has doubled. The question, therefore, is not whether Newark can afford to maintain the all-year school, but rather, whether it can afford to dispense with it. less [ NorE—The above is a copy of a signed brief pre- sented to the Board of Education by all the Principals of the all-year schools of Newark, New Jersey. | Compliments of HOME ROOM 206 Р.

Віс Мо� е IN THE PROFESSIONS, BUT— Го enter one of them— more than a grammar school, ora high school, edu« ation is necessary. Го geta college educa tion you must have the mor ey to pay for it. Will you have it——or will you be obliged bec ause you lac k it, to give up all thought of college and engage all your life in work less profitable and less to your liking than a pro fession? This is the time to think of that; it is the time to start to build up a fund for it. One way to do that is to start a voluntary trust fund with $500 or more in this bank; an other way 1з to open an interest bearing savings account ind build it up with regular deposits. Talk these two plans over with your parents; then come in and talk them over with us. Do it now.
